You can get xiaomi smart home kit, including smart plug, temp & humidity sensor, motion sensor, windows/doors sensor, smart button, hub at very low price.

These xiaomi devices are zigbee devices, some even can integrate to smartthings, I'm getting the humidity sensor to monitor my drybox is working properly or not

Yes, the iOS app support English.

you can get the kit from aliexpress or ezbuy if you can't read Chinese. Lazada also selling but a bit pricey.

Bought all xiaomi stuff

Managed to get it up and running ! Now it works with Siri as well and it can control

The app is in Engrish , but its a lousy app. Good for pairing and enabling developer mode. After that you can use homebridge + homekit + Siri to control and automate it

Now I need to replace the light switch

It's better to buy better brand because you still need their cloud service. If their cloud is always down, your thing won't work
